Please see the reviews by Robert I. Hedges and M. Kramer. Both gentlemen said it better than I can. This is the one.

It’s clear and detailed. If you follow every step you will definitely understand everything. However, there are many overlaps which you may not need.

If you are in the finance business, of any kind, and you are not an accountant, this book is for you.

I bought 3 books, the one I am reviewing, “Reading Financial Reports For Dummies”, and “Guide to Understanding Financial Statements”. This book gives no information for beginners who are trying to learn how to understand financial statements. I read all 3 books twice, and I didn’t get anything…and I mean nothing from this book. The other two were very well written. Reading Financial Reports For Dummies and The Guide to Understanding Financial Statements. I suggest not wasting your money on this book. It is basically a lot of numbers with very little explanation. It is also confusing because the definitions are different and there is no explanation why they defintions change when reading a financial report.

THIS BOOK IS REALLY BAD. NEITHER FOR AMATEURS NOR FOR THOS WHO WANTS TO BRUSH UP THEIR BASIC ACCOUNTING KNOWLEDGE.
